Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness A Democratic myth has arisen that Donald Trump’s denial of the accuracy of the 2020 vote was “unprecedented.” Unfortunately, the history of U.S. elections is often a story of both legitimate and illegitimate election denialism. The 1800, 1824, 1876, and 1960 elections were all understandably questioned. In some of these… Continue reading Who Denies Election Results?

Biden, Democrats use midterm mass-distraction strategy to hide counterculture revolution from angry voters
Victor Davis Hanson The contours of the upcoming November midterms seem clear. President Joe Biden scarcely polls above 40% approval. His disastrous energy, economic, crime, immigration, and foreign policies proved even more unpopular. In reaction, frightened Democratic candidates on script are resorting to strategies of diversion. They avoid mention of their prior lockstep support for Biden agendas… Continue reading Biden, Democrats use midterm mass-distraction strategy to hide counterculture revolution from angry voters
The Unmentionable, Unspeakable, and Unutterable. Part Three
Victor Davis Hanson Instead, our elite social engineers focus on the black upper-middle class through vastly expanding affirmative action and recalibrating college admissions as reparatory rather than proportionally representative (i.e., 16 percent rather than the old 11 or 12 percent of a college’s new enrollment now shall be black). They capitalize Black. The bicoastal elite… Continue reading The Unmentionable, Unspeakable, and Unutterable. Part Three

Victor Davis Hanson Crime Everywhere Now we come to the current crime wave. We see weekly YouTube videos of the knock-out game, of Saturday night Al Capone-gangland massacring, of vulnerable joggers raped and killed, of a mother and her daughter carjacked, of a woman at a rail crossing murdered, of a petite woman pushed to… Continue reading The Unmentionable, Unspeakable, and Unutterable.

The Tentacles of the Social Media Octopus
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness A shared theme in all dystopian explorations of future and current totalitarian regimes—whether China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, or Cuba—is government control of all media information, fueled by electronic surveillance. A skeptical public learns to say one thing publicly but quite another privately. It nervously nods yes at the news… Continue reading The Tentacles of the Social Media Octopus
The Unmentionable, Unspeakable, and Unutterable. Part One
Victor Davis Hanson What best characterizes an Orwellian or Soviet society? The silent, collective acceptance of the truth that never can be spoken, and the lies of the apparat that everyone else knows are not true. Think of some of the astounding truths that we simply ignore. Hillary Clinton We have spoken about Clinton before,… Continue reading The Unmentionable, Unspeakable, and Unutterable. Part One
Joe Biden Plays the Old Ugly American
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The Left used to accuse imperialist, resource-hungry Yanquis in Washington of cutting selfish deals with illiberal dictatorships in Latin America to grab their natural resources. How odd then that Joe Biden is now begging the despicable Maduro regime in Venezuela—corrupt, murderous, and anti-American—to produce more of its oil solely to… Continue reading Joe Biden Plays the Old Ugly American
Remembering Great Men. Part Three
Victor Davis Hanson And then without a glitch, he said, “Leave the pickup key under the seat. I’ll find it. You go teach those classes. I’ll have it running in an hour and then you can get down here to check the crew and get back for the next class.” With my dad, it was… Continue reading Remembering Great Men. Part Three
Remembering Great Men. Part Two
Victor Davis Hanson Words Matter I omit for now the evil “great men” who changed history—the Hitlers, Maos, and Stalins—and who singularly explain a collective 100 million deaths. Instead, I want to focus on the good rescue work that exceptional men and women do, and why for anything to work you need talented and reliable… Continue reading Remembering Great Men. Part Two
Ukraine and the Malevolent Legacy of the Obama-Biden Administration
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness During the current Ukrainian war, the media has created a mythology that the Left was tough on Vladimir Putin’s Russia. And thus, now it simply continues its hard-nosed efforts in Ukraine. But nothing could be further from the truth. Aside from Biden’s original panic of evacuating American diplomatic personnel from… Continue reading Ukraine and the Malevolent Legacy of the Obama-Biden Administration
